Senior Content Strategist (St. Louis Candidates Only)

Location: St. Louis, MO (Local Candidates Only)
Type: Full-Time | Salaried | Exempt

Abstrakt Marketing Group is looking for a Senior Content Strategist who knows that great content isn't just well-written—it's strategic, measurable, and built to drive business results.

If you're the kind of marketer who naturally asks "What's the search intent?" before writing a headline, enjoys diving into keyword opportunities, and can transform technical or niche topics into engaging content that ranks, we'd like to meet you.

This isn't a production writing role. It's an opportunity to own content strategy from concept to execution for a portfolio of clients across multiple industries. You'll partner with SEO specialists, digital strategists, and account teams to create content that attracts the right audience, generates qualified traffic, and supports measurable growth.

This is an immediate hiring need, and we're looking for someone who can hit the ground running. St. Louis-area candidates only.

You'll be the strategic content lead for your assigned clients, taking ownership of the entire content life cycle.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Developing SEO-driven content strategies that align with client business goals, buyer journeys, and target audiences.
• Researching industries, competitors, and emerging trends to uncover high-value content opportunities.
• Conducting keyword research using leading SEO platforms to identify opportunities that improve visibility and organic performance.
• Writing compelling, search-optimized blogs, website pages, landing pages, and educational resources that balance user experience with SEO best practices.
• Optimizing existing content to improve rankings, engagement, and conversions.
• Publishing and formatting content within WordPress while following technical SEO standards including metadata, header structure, internal linking, and on-page optimization.
• Monitoring content performance through Google Analytics, Google Search Console, SEMrush, and similar tools to identify wins and recommend continuous improvements.
• Collaborating with SEO Strategists and Digital Success Managers to ensure content supports broader digital marketing initiatives.
• Participating in client conversations when needed to understand brand voice, business objectives, and industry expertise.

You're equal parts strategist, researcher, writer, and optimizer. You enjoy owning projects from idea through performance analysis and understand that exceptional content starts long before the first sentence is written.

We're looking for someone who brings:

• A bachelor's degree in Communications, Journalism, English, Marketing, or a related field.
• 1–3 years of experience developing SEO-focused content strategies or working in digital marketing.
• Strong knowledge of keyword research, search intent, and on-page SEO best practices.
• Experience with WordPress and SEO platforms such as SEMrush, Ahrefs, or Google Search Console.
• Outstanding writing, editing, and proofreading skills with an ability to adapt voice across industries.
• Excellent organization and time management while balancing multiple client accounts and deadlines.
• Curiosity and strong research skills that allow you to quickly become knowledgeable in unfamiliar industries.
• The ability to turn complex topics into engaging, valuable, and easy-to-understand content.

You'll have the opportunity to influence content strategy for a diverse client portfolio, collaborate with experienced digital marketers, and see your work directly impact search visibility, lead generation, and business growth.

If you're ready to own strategy—not just produce content—and want to join a team that values smart ideas, measurable results, and continuous improvement, we'd love to hear from you.

This position is based in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Local candidates only.
